I do developer education at PlanetScale. This means everything from teaching database best-practices, running performance benchmarks, supporting customers, and building the marketing brand for our company. I'm simultaneously interested in software engineering, education, and marketing. PlanetScale let's me beautifully combine all of these interests into one role.
I used to be a Faculty member in the Computer Science department at the University of Arizona. If that sounds interesting, check out my old course websites. Before that, I was a research software engineer at Dataware.
